Today's 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card was made using the ribbon from the Cricut Autumn Celebrations cartridge. Both Melanie and I chose this ribbon image from the Autumn Celebrations cartridge to make our breast cancer cards, but there are other ribbon images available on the Stand and Salute, Designer's Calendar and Pink Journey Cricut cartridges.

I cut this ribbon image at 3-1/2", so it would be the focal point of the card. There are many layers to this image that give it a lot of pizzazz. I used the MAMBI Fight Like a Girl, Pink Breast Cancer paper stack to make the card itself. The strips of paper are cut at 1-3/4" each. The top scalloped sections were cut with a die (see HERE) using the Cuttlebug and then layered on top of one another.

Don't forget that the ribbon image is used for many different cancers and other causes. So, this could be a card for someone fighting a different type of cancer or even for a military woman who needs some love and encouragement - just change up the papers.

Wow, think I am the first one today. Love your project Hope, it is really pretty and bright enough to cheer anyone up. I think the bottom striped paper is an older SU Designer paper. I think I have that one to.angel hugsDebby

Love your card! My mom passed away from breast cancer 21 years ago this November so this one touched me a lot. I've wanted to get the Handy man cart so winning it would make my week. Thanks for the chances to win fun stuff.DMcardmaker (email follower)

Love it! The sentiment goes perfectly with BC awareness and is so true, my Aunt has been battling BC and she always says that the secret is for one to have HOPE and hold on to Faith. I am pretty sure that there are other factors too the equation, but certainly this two are very important. Thank you for sharing this project. Have a great day.Liz

Love the bold, bright colors you used on this card. I tend to stick with lighter shades of pink for my breast cancer cards, but I really like these colors. Please remind your followers to get their mammograms. I'm living proof that early detection saves lives!!!

I am a uterine cancer survivor and have a hubby who is a real fix it all man. Would love to win this cartridge. He deserves me making him a lot of cards for helping me during my illness and recovery. Thanks. ekciampo@yahoo.com

What a beautiful card. I wanted to thank you for recognizing that there are other cancers out there besides breast cancer. As someone who just two weeks ago and her 6th surgery for re-occurring thyroid cancer I appreciate it. Sometimes it feels like the only cancer out there worth fight is breast cancer and while it is definitely important we shouldn't forget the others.

I lost my grandmother from breast cancer. This disease is very personal to me and my family. I think this card is so beautiful! It's amazing how much encouragement can be found in a little pink ribbon!

My daughter-in-law's mother passed away with breast cancer 15 years ago this November. She was only49 years old (way too young). Love your card and hope everyone does their breast exams.true1947@embarqmail.com

This card is beautiful Joy!! Thanks for mentioning all the cartriges with the ribbon on them. All I currently have is the cuttlebug ribbon die. I want to make more cancer encouragement cards, will have to get one of the cartridges you mentioned. Blessings!

I really like your card. I've been trying to find something that i could use to make a card like that, two of my aunts are survivors and my cousin is going through it now. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas : )

This is a great card! The ribbon really is the focal point and makes the card "pop". Love the use of the bright pink not only in the solids but in the different patterned papers~~striped, dots, and more. Thanks for the great ideas!
